Hi,

Currently socat FTBFS on GNU/Hurd due to differing values for O_RDONLY,
O_WRONLY and O_RDWR compared to Linux systems.

The attached patch, xioinitialize.c.patch, fixes the build problem.
Unfortunately, since util-linux build-depends on socat, that package
cannot be built.

A problem is that socat depends on netstat or ip to function properly,
and is used in the tests, not being available for GNU/Hurd. So building
the package w/o tests is recommended. (No patch is attached to disable
tests in this posting).

Additionally ifconfig is needed for the tests, but probably inetutils-
ifconfig can be used as a replacement. That package just need to add a
link of /usr/bin/inetutils-ifconfig to /sbin/ifconfig.

Thanks!

xioinitialize.c.patch
